The first Bondi blue iMac, Sillybandz, and trading Pokémon cards. Feeling nostalgic yet? These three things have one characteristic in common: they were all around when millennials were kids. As most of our likes and dislikes come from childhood impressions, those who grew up in the '90s will always have a soft spot for these things.
Luckily, there are pages online that preserve our memory of this iconic decade. Like the "I was born in the 1990s" Facebook page, dedicated to nostalgic content relevant to that era. With its 1 million followers, it boasts a community of like-minded '90s kids hungry for a taste of their wonderful formative years.
Since everything these days seems to be about nostalgia, from movie remakes to old-school Nokias coming back in style, Bored Panda sought some expertise about using '90s nostalgia in marketing. Social media marketing guru Peg Fitzpatrick kindly agreed to tell us more about the power of the '90s in marketing. Read her expert insights below!

Even as a child I was always confused by why all 4 grandparents seemingly in their 50s all just lay in the same bed together all day!
Right...while mom worked so hard to keep the family together...
Load More Replies...And how was he dancing two minutes after getting out of bed for the first time in 20 years? Muscles atrophy if they're not used.
Yes... at least I do. We read the book and then watched the movie in class.
Load More Replies...People stayed under the covers during the depression for warmth. They couldn’t afford heating.
Grampa Joe...spending money on tobacco until he quit in this movie...from a four person bed, while Ms Bucket boils laundry and cabbage soup....
That's only because after that half hour you decided on a poster you found the number/color and looked for the poster and... just that poster is sold out.
You could actually check out a poster from the library for a month where I live! But had to return it....so sad Also, trying to unroll these to stick to the wall...would take ages for the edges to not be curled
If you want to relive this go to a Five Below, they still have them.
I used to love it when I saw teacher pushing the trolley into the classroom as it meant the next hour would be pure bliss as it was such a treat
But only boys were ever allowed to handle them. And we wonder why girls didn't go into tech. But then I was 70's - 80's, so maybe it changed by the 90's.
Load More Replies...Both of the kids in that picture are pushing. What is this, Midvale School for the Gifted?
That's a true 90's kid test. If you don't get that reference, enjoy your 20s!
Load More Replies...Thank you--- same here! And if the projector froze, jump up and turn it off before the filmstrip melts! 😱
Load More Replies...I will never forget the morning when our teacher brought one of these into the classroom and silently switched it on, and we all watched as the second plane hit the Twin Towers.
In Spiderman : Homecoming, Peter Parker's PE teacher still using TV. Nothing is new there 😔
"Nostalgia is like a time-traveling magnet for consumer behavior," says Peg Fitzpatrick, a social media marketing consultant for small businesses. "It doesn't just tug at heartstrings; it wraps them around entire marketing strategies."
"People love revisiting the '90s because it was a simpler time of slap bracelets and dial-up internet—nostalgia taps into that longing for the good ol' days. Social media marketers can wield this powerful tool by creating content that resonates with these fond memories, from throwback ads to retro-themed product launches. After all, who wouldn't want to relive the days of TGIF and neon scrunchies?" Peg asks.
We had a security guard in high school that looked like this. " Iron tits Irene" was what us kids called her.she wore polyester, had kind of a beehive and wore motorcycle cop glasses. She was both despised and feared.
Was it that bad? I remember my brother's saying "the graphics are amazing!#
And we thought that the graphics on that game were so realistic! 😂
Nokia 3310. Not just a phone, but also a weapon if necessary. Battery time is a thing of legend
Yeah, I had a nokia, not sure if 3310 though, and I usually just charged it like once a week. My friend often borrowed mine to play the snake game.
Load More Replies...But who phone rings the Nokia ringtone ret NOW? Mine. and when people recognize it and it takes them back, that lets me know that we RELATE!
Man it always felt really special to open a message. I felt like I was living in the distant future
Ok yeah I remember making CDs like this, but making a good mixTAPE? Was so much more work
waiting for the song to come on the radio and then the DJ talks over the intro.
Load More Replies...This wasn't the 90s. Mixtape cassette was 90s. Love those, still have every one a boy gave me!
I had mixed CDs in the 90s. Had to download those virus ridden converter programs to make that cd
Load More Replies...damn I'm older then lol mom would put casste tapes on record before we did the cd thing
Same here. I love cds. Still buy them from eBay from time to time
Load More Replies...I used to make a cd for every night of the week. If i haven't seen Emily in a few weeks, I'd come up with a title for it like Josh Thinks Emily Hates Me Now mix with the date of course as I'm very nostalgic.
"Nostalgia isn't just a wistful glance in the rearview mirror; it's a powerhouse in consumer behavior that marketers can't ignore," Peg explains the psychology behind using nostalgia for marketing.
"It taps into our innate desire for connection and comfort, transporting us back to when things seemed simpler and more carefree. Whether it's reminiscing about Saturday morning cartoons or the thrill of collecting Pokémon cards, nostalgia evokes strong emotions and a sense of longing for the past."
You have to let it run a bit first or you get stuck with sun heated water. Once cool water starts coming...ah, perfection.
Load More Replies...Should have been a picture of squiz its. Those sugary drinks in purple, red, and blue. You had to twist off the plastic top and squiz it to drink. Anyone remember those?
Still a summer time staple in my household! So refreshing seeing my kiddos continue this tradition!
Had to let it run for a sec in the summer cause the water would be hot at first.
FYI: This didn't start in the 1990s.. We did this in the 70s, and many generations before that.
"Slugs can crawl inside a hose and they may shed rat lungworm larvae. There have been cases of rat lungworm disease that occurred from a person drinking from a garden hose. It is advisable to keep a nozzle attached to the hose to prevent entry of slugs and snails." https://pharmacy.uhh.hawaii.edu/documents/rat-lungworm/11.Disease_Prevention.pdf https://www.nbcnews.com/health/health-news/rat-lungworm-infects-12-across-u-s-cdc-finds-n896981 Although the first link is about Hawaii, there have been cases in the continental US, too.
Posing with 3 bottles of Prime like they're school awards or soccer trophies 🙄. That's how stupid the trend is among children. My son asks for one any time we're in a store just because that's what everyone else is drinking. Nope, sorry about it.
Nah. We had those tiny bottles shaped like a bear with some kind of juice that tasted weird
Or barrel shaped with the foil lids called Huggies that came in every color.
Load More Replies...My niece has that as her notification on her phone. She spends the weekends with us and frequently leaves her phone charging in my room. All night I get woken up almost hourly with Not The Mama (yes, in the baby's voice, too). Drives me crazy 🤣
Load More Replies...Loved that show.. lot of people didn't realize, at first at least, that the last names of all the characters were oil manufacturers
According to Fitzpatrick, nostalgia works so well in marketing because it feels so personal. "From a marketing perspective, nostalgia serves as a powerful tool to engage audiences on a deeper level."
"Brands can leverage nostalgia to create authentic connections with consumers by tapping into shared cultural experiences and memories. This can be seen in campaigns that resurrect iconic '90s brands or icons, evoking a sense of familiarity and nostalgia that resonates with both longtime fans and younger generations," Peg points out.
I found out recently that they didn't have the rights to the music on their anti piracy bit
Pretty sure they still show this, especially if you watch retro or older movies.
Some of the movies I was raised on still had this (ironically all of them pirated )
See y'all on the other end of the dark tunnel slide in Discovery Zone. I'm still too scared to go down.
Nah. The best PE class was when they let us use the scooter boards (square boards on four casters). We ran relay races with those.
Oh yeah!!!! That and dodge ball were my favorites!!!
Load More Replies...This just reminded me about something, I'm not sure if I've recalled, since it happened. So I was in elementary school and we created a giant underwater world that we could walk inside of. We took sheets of almost like giant saran wrap and taped them together, it took up almost the entire gymnasium. Once it was taped up air tight, these big industrial air blowers were turned on and made it into a humongous bubble, almost. Us kids got to draw and add our own pieces to the aquarium theme and I remember no one was allowed to wear shoes inside but it was big enough for many adults and kids could fit inside it comfortably. I think maybe because we did the parachute in gym, at this time is what made me remember this. So thanks for this happy memory I had. 😊
Some schools still do that. My husband teaches PE at a school and he got a real kick at how amazed the kids were by the parachute.
Ours had a mesh circle in the center and when you tossed it up for kids to run under it, it looked like a spotlight moving back and forth. Felt like a game show!
Nostalgia is also a good way to build brand loyalty. "When consumers associate positive emotions with a brand's nostalgic elements, they are more likely to develop a strong affinity for that brand and remain loyal over time," Peg explains. "This emotional connection goes beyond product features or pricing—it's about fostering a relationship built on shared experiences and values."
We were all jealous of someone who had this at school
And everyone learned decades later you're supposed to put water in those dry a*s markers/felts
WHAT REALLY? Where has this information been all my life :'D
Load More Replies...Had one of those, my sister had one and i was sad so my parents gave in and got me it, i swear everyone of those markers where dried out. but i loved it with all my heart, the corners were ALL super chipped and hurt when i touched it but i loved it.
You were supposed to take the bottoms off and add water to the markers.
Load More Replies...I felt like such a cool kid bringing it to school.. But the quality of the markers was actually awful :,)
You were supposed to take the bottoms off and add water.
Load More Replies...I can legit feel this picture, from the dry scratchy markers when you used them on paper, to the nicks and scratches I would get from the case, to the shìtty paintbrushes with 5 dàmn bristles that just enhanced the lovely paint set it comes with.
except the markers rarely worked and the pencils were crappy :(
COWABUNGA DUDE!!! 😃... PS? I loved the soundtrack to that! I had it on cassette!!! ❤️
Took me me a few seconds to understand. I'm a boomer. Not sure, but wasn't Splinter a rat and not a mouse. Or was Shredder a rat?
Not a boomer and I still had to check the comments to get it bc Shredder was indeed a rat
Load More Replies...And she's like 50. Friendships shouldn't be that fragile at that age.
Load More Replies...That too, I ripped most photos but my innocent mind always took it as an accident 😂.
Load More Replies...Social media makes it even easier for brands to harvest nostalgia. "[It allows] brands to engage with consumers in real-time conversations about their favorite memories and cultural touchstones," Peg says.
"Whether through throwback posts, retro-themed campaigns, or limited-edition reissues of classic products, marketers can create immersive brand experiences that tap into the universal appeal of nostalgia."
There's a place near here that still has this! Lol it actually has all kinds of cool stuff. I spend most of my time at the pool table, or in the HALO simulator. Or at the bar. Which got me in a pretty risky situation once, involving having a few too many and playing pool drunk, winning, being accused of cheating by the random middle aged guy that early-20s me was playing with, getting into a fight with him and winning that, and being escorted out of the place. Thankfully I have connections that work there so I wasn't permanently banned😆 that was also the night I got a dart stuck in the 20ft ceiling because my friend's date dared me to throw it there. That was a wild night. Almost got arrested too... But I should shut my mouth. This has not much to do with this post.
So many quarters spent just to get one routine down perfect so people thought you were like the best.
For my wedding, we got the heart one engraved with our names and the date. We used that for sand instead of using unity candles.
I still have a little decorative shelf in my kitchen with 5 of these my daughter made. Wow...guess they're vintage!
Arizona State Fair!! Back when you had to bring a sweater at night because it got cold in the evenings. I had the elongated soda bottle with the thin neck. It was like two feet tall. A real pain to get home.
Yes, bought many Polly Pocket stuff for my kids back then. Gosh, I am old.
I was a kid in the 90s and I never had this either.
Load More Replies...I had two of those (a diner and the Flintstones). I wonder what happened to them. Hopefully they weren't thrown away. pp-6690e1b...1c-png.jpg
Found a whole set of these in the dumpster. I crawled up in there and dug them out. Sanitized them and gave them to my niece.
Unfortunately not every 90s boy had a Mighty Max...but this one did get Creepy Crawlers and Doctor Dreadful
"Ultimately, nostalgia in marketing isn't just about looking back; it's about creating meaningful connections that resonate with consumers' emotions and values," Peg emphasizes. "By harnessing the power of nostalgia responsibly and authentically, brands can turn fond memories into enduring brand loyalty and advocacy."
I think millenials (Gen X and Y) understand this much better than boomers.
People really do forget about us GenXers all the time.
Load More Replies...Yeah, I was born in the 2000s and I still know how this works. People think that this is some kind of ancient technology for us, but this should still be common knowledge for most in my opinion.
Load More Replies...Is boomer now used for anyone over 30? Seriously, this way of texting isn't boomer stuff. This is my generation, and I was born in 1984, about 40 years after the war. Sure, my parents will have texted a bit too so they will understand too, but even they are 10-15 years away from boomers.
F... I was actually able to read it without looking at the keypad I am old.
"Lose Yourself" was 2002, OP that will never see my comment. Funny meme, though!
Ok seriously though gnocchi is freaking amazing, started using it latley and its soo good
Still have my yahoo from '97, nicknamesurname@yahoo.com, been my go-to for 27 years (good grief).
Load More Replies...I was six, and while it is an incredibly silly email name, I'm not shamed enough to change over my everything instead of facing the giggles
I get emails all the time from parents with emails like HOTMAMAxxx@gmail.com. I always keep a formal email for formal purposes.
I never understood people having their general email as stuff like this!
Load More Replies...My username here is my old AOL screenname. It's a shortened version of "rockabilly kitten" because when I made it, your handle couldn't be longer then TEN CHARACTERS 😭
I still use my very first email. And it's just my first name and last initial so it's not even embarrassing.
I have a domain that is based on my last name and the email address of all my family members is just their first name. Like mike@smith.com. My daughter had to make business cards in elementary school and put her email address on it. Another kid gave her c**p because they didn't believe it was her real email address. Still is to this day.
Surprisingly, those born in the 2000s and even the 2010s love the '90s, too. They're as responsive (if not more) to '90s nostalgia campaigns as millennials are. The pop music "It" girl of Gen Z, Olivia Rodrigo, for example, masterfully uses her love for the '90s aesthetics both in her music and in her marketing campaigns.
I learned how to make these in summer camp & I didn't stop for 2 years.. Today? I couldn't tell you how to start one
I knew someone who had started one but didn't have time to finish do I saic stupidly that I could give it a try. S**t just about drove me nuts & stsrt to drink. I didn't (AND STILL DONT) understand this s**t.
That must have come back in the 90s cuz that's way before the 90s ...the material was called gimp and you made all kinds of things out of it
y'all, and some kids, yeah. Lunchables were a great quick fix for fussier kids on long car rides
Load More Replies...This is definitely not something I had as a child. When I was little, you bought biscuits and cheese from the market. But meat was from the butcher. And plastic was virtually non-existent. Meat and cheese were wrapped in newspaper. And biscuits came in a cardboard box or paper bag. These snack packs were something I didn't discover until I moved to the US in the 2010s.
Why the downvotes? If someone doesn't know about something? They didn't know about something until they moved or travelled elsewhere.
Load More Replies...Sent my son to an Anglican pre-school. He came home wanting a "charcuterie" for lunch. I only knew what he was talking about because I took French in high school.
I took French in school and yet I had never heard of charcuterie before recently. Had to google what it means.
Load More Replies...Ah lunchables, for when mom doesn't feel like making you a bag lunch and you have a feild trip the next day.
Peg takes Ulta Beauty's Hello Kitty campaign as another example. According to her, it exemplifies the art of blending timeless appeal with contemporary flair. "From themed makeup collections to skincare products adorned with Hello Kitty motifs, these campaigns capture the hearts of both longtime fans and new audiences alike."
"By tapping into cultural icons that transcend generations, brands can forge connections that go beyond mere consumerism, fostering a sense of nostalgia and community."
Great game for 5 minutes max
As long as the person they're playing with has decent aim.
Load More Replies...Lost five minutes after I gave it to the kid. Found it later after the dog chewed it up.
Sweat, baby, sweat, baby sex is a Texas drought Me and you do the kind of stuff that only Prince would sing about So put your hands down my pants and I'll bet you'll feel nuts Yes, I'm Siskel, yes, I'm Ebert And you're getting two thumbs up You've had enough of two-hand touch You want it rough, you're out of bounds I want you smothered, want you covered Like my Waffle House hash browns Comin' quicker than FedEx, never reaching apex Just like Coca-Cola stock, you are inclined To make me rise an hour early just like Daylight Savings Time
🎶...so let's do it like they do on the discovery channel! 🎶
Load More Replies...I almost forgot about this song. Thanks for reminding me of it's existance. 😑
I recently got a new car that doesn't have a cd player, but does have YouTube music through Android auto. So I went through all my old mix cds (from my old car that I still listened to regularly) and put them all on one playlist. This is the closing song from "MIX TOO" from 2007 lol!
"Ain't nothing but mammals, let's do it like they do on the discovery channel!"............dang it!- now THATS gonna be in my head ALL DAY!
Is this actually plugged into a wall jack but has digital apps? How do you spell superfluous cause I'm trying to say this is superfluous...sombody...
Thinking of setting up my old rotary phones with a Bluetooth just to hear a phone ring again.
So, do the '90s no longer belong to the people who actually grew up in the nineties? "Demographics in '90s nostalgia are as diverse as a Saved by the Bell reunion episode," Peg quips.
"Sure, millennials who grew up with Game Boys and Tamagotchis are prime targets. But don't underestimate the allure for Gen Z and even Gen Xers—they're all craving a taste of that Walkman-wearing, Beanie Baby-collecting era."
Phone, tamagochi, pens yes. The rest? Especially the Mac? That's some upper class BS
Didnt Imac come in the late 90s though? Man I loved using those computers during school! I now own an intel hp Bang and Olufsen Silver Laptop. Those were good times.
Load More Replies...Lot of posts about Now being from the 80s. It was, but not in the US. We got our first Now! album in 1998. It looks like it originally began in 1983 in Europe. So, given that the internet was much less common in the 90s, it checks out we wouldnt know it originated elsewhere, and it was super popular, so yes, its a 90s thing... For us.
Holy s**t! Tamagotchti! F**k keeping that little bastard alive was hard. Be fine for like a week, then you forget about it for one day...!
oh mee goodness I had that radio we now use it in the barn for when working cattle or just doing things
Is that the name of the movie? I thought it was Jaws .
Load More Replies...Hands down, top 5 movies. Sequels became a quick descent into madness but the 2 with Fred Ward are the best! RIP my man.
Horror? Thought it was a comedy! I know I laughed a few times watching it. 🤣
Load More Replies...And here's me with my Tremors movie + series collection not three feet to my left
Or you just needed a small break from the test and so you took your time with it.
We used to break the leads . we also learned sign language and would sign to each other from across the room
Flip phones, Tamagotchis, and cassettes coming back in fashion has little to do with when people were born, apparently. "Nostalgia in marketing isn't just about age," Peg confirms. "It's about tapping into shared cultural touchstones that transcend generations. After all, who doesn't smile at the thought of Blockbuster Friday nights and dial-up internet woes?"
Nope. Kids need to learn how to lose regardless of age or the game. I never purposely let my son win anything for that reason. It also makes it more special and more of a milestone for him when he actually does win fairly.
The day you finally win against dad or one of the older siblings was great though. And then everybody starts drifing and you realize they were still holding back.
So sorry. What were minutes like in your country. Really, tell us..
Load More Replies...Bwahahaha!!! I actually knew a code to get free Orange WAP!!! But shhhh I didn't tell you that!
Before my wife and I got married, I had temporarily moved to another state. We were on the phone constantly and as soon as it would hit, we'd hang up and call right back.
... And you're watching it with your parents... The awkward sexy scenes... "iiiiim just gonna look down at my feet right now and pretend they're interesting!"
You keep telling yourself that, honey. There was plenty of room. (Of course, his weight would've lowered the door further into the water.) Now go feed a couple thousand starving Africans with that gemstone, Karen.
Load More Replies...Remember the original Aibo dog by Sony? It was expensive enough to trick us into thinking that it would actually a decent substitute for a real dog, but acrually was barely more functional than rhe usual £10 ones.
I wanted one so bad-My mom said no because we have 2 real dogs. Go play with them! 😂🤣😂
No. I had a phone sock instead. It was a penguin. It had a sticky out beak. :D
I had a shopping bag full of these! I got them on ebay. Honestly I miss being able to customize my phone like this!
Just another reason phones were way more fun back then than they are today.
I'm old enough that I remember Gwen when she still made good music with the band. 'Tragic Kingdom' and all that, great stuff. By the time this 'Hollaback Girl' nonsense started Gwen Stefani had become a joke to me and my friends. Disposable disco c**p from someone who had previously demonstrated she was capable of much more.
Same its one of the worst songs of hers that Ive heard, this couldve been a better fit tbh for BEP or The Pussycat Dolls at the time.
Load More Replies...I swear every time I put this on the grocery list I sing it! Thanks Gwennie!
A few times I've been around that track So it's not just gonna happen like that 'Cause I ain't no hollaback girl I ain't no hollaback girl!!! 🎶🎶🎶

Nowadays you're culrucified as a terrible person if you let your 10 year old alone for 5 minutes.

I mean, in the 90s there was a UK Indian sketch show called Goodness Gracious Me, and I'm sure one of the characters would often say "kiss my chuddies" in a way that very much suggested certain male parts.
Load More Replies...isn't chuddy an Indian slang for a male body part? Goodness Gracious Me always made it seem that way
Rumors came out of one area the different colors/ shape meant the kid did a certain sex act. And it was unbelievable that kids could even imagine some of the kinks attached. I am an adult and was like no way no how kids were doing certain things. Pre internet everywhere.

Is this supposed to be a reference to James and the Giant Peach? I'm clueless, otherwise.
I'm pretty sure, combined with a Star Wars reference (Obi-Wan? I haven'T heard that name in years). Although.... I always thought it was James AND a giant peach? Not James THE giant peach? (I also never read that book. It wasn't popular in Germany during my childhood - still isn't, I think)

They may smell like English biscuits, but they definitely don't taste like them. (Or maybe that was the joke you were making?)

Oh wow! I feel ancient. Mum has a MASSIVE box of Happy Meal toys in her loft - mainly unwrapped that were sent to her as an apology by Mcdonalds in the mid 90s when she complained after they forgot the cake for one of our birthday parties... She can't remember whose. There is some awesome stuff in there

Dear god. I worked at Claire's in 03-04. These stupid things were add ons at the register and there was a different one every month. We had to push them so friggin hard.
I worked there just a few years later. Insanity what they wanted us to do. I only stuck around because I had a good manager.

Load More Replies...Went to a smash hits concert just after Liberty had to tack the X on to the end for copyright reasons or whatever the rumour was
Must have UK and America because I remember most of these well.
Load More Replies...I am the right age, mostly. I grew up in the late 80s. But I'm too foreign. Nobody would have had access to any of these things unless they were super wealthy. Plastic toys didn't come until we started trading with China in the mid-late 90s. And electronic toys were too expensive for most families.
Load More Replies...When I was a kid, we played with rocks and sticks. Our house had one phone, it was plugged into the wall, it has a rotary dial on it and we weren't allowed to use it because local calls cost money back then.
When I was a young kid we did too. I spent a lot of time with my aunt, she had converted an old school bus and her and my uncle lived out in the middle of nowhere. This was back in the 80's, before this huge trend hit. There were no tvs, electricity, phones. We used our imaginations. Made forts, bows and arrows, found gun shaped sticks for hunting.
